What does self-guided mean? You guide yourself! Your holiday is arranged for you; there is no leader and you are not in a group. We book your hotels and give you routecards, maps and local info. You get straight to the best scenery and enjoy walking at your own pace.

A weekend in the hills?
Many of our Self-Guided walking holidays are available as weekend trips, or long weekends. Such short trips to the mountains are a real possibility if the planning is good - and it is! Please see each holiday description for details. Some of the trips are 4 days long and obviously suited to a long weekend, but the following longer trips are also particularly suitable for weekend trips due to the availability of exciting 2- or 3-stage sections within the longer routes:

Coast to Coast West - Lake District Traverse - Pennine Way Central - West Highland Way - Great Glen Way

Contact us with your dates and we'll plan an ideal mini trek.
